← ScienceWhich consequence results when a radio antenna is shorter than optimal for broadcasting?
A)Reduced EM wave propagation distance✓
B)Increased impedance matching requirement
C)Amplified spurious harmonic interference
D)Elevated antenna radiation resistance
💡 Explanation
Shorter antennas have lower radiation resistance, curtailing power transmitted efficiently; therefore, electromagnetic wave propagation distance decreases because radiated power is lower, rather than impedance matching requirements changing directly or spurious emissions being amplified.
